I suspect this little detail may have been a really big part in helping her recover from the whole thing.
Sometimes, it's the little things that matters.
Well, and the not so little things of being free of debt and never having to have a crappy master again. That's probably apprechiated too. :)

Still, I suspect that if she had to choose between being debtfree and having someone care for her ... I'm fairly sure the choice would be easy .. after all, money's just money, and not that important in the end.
